L.L. Zamenhof: Who He Was, Why He's on Google Dec 15, 2009 ... No, Google hasn't been taken over by a foreign country. The green-and-white flag over the Google logo today is the banner of the artificial ...

And from a lesser known blog:
Thanks to The Son, who asked me to log in to Google.com today. And it turns out that today is the 150th birthday of L. L. Zamenhof, the man who created Esperanto—still the best bet for a stable, neutral, second language to serve as an interlanguage.

I don’t understand people, sometimes. Well, mostly.

We keep hearing that good causes like Esperanto have to battle for publicity. Here, publicity sought ready-to-use quotations (no time to do research) and almost failed to find any sources.
